2006 Winner

Star

One of the top 100 private European internet services

Star

"Zopa is one of a new crop of sites that facilitate lending between individuals, doing an end run around traditional banks.....The job is to build trust, essential in handling other people's money but never easy to establish in new markets. Among other things, it requires implementing good security and risk assessment tools, which typically raise the barriers to entry in this market. And Zopa, at least, has crossed those barriers in the U.K."
